Aerogel Ring Imaging CHerenkov counter (ARICH) - is the particle identification device installed in the forward region of the Belle II detector at SuperKEKB accelerator facility in Japan. The first electron – positron collisions at SuperKEKB took place 26 of April in 2018 during so called phase 2 run. Measured performance of the ARICH detector based on recorded bhabha events during phase 2 are...
NA62 is the last generation kaon experiment at the CERN SPS aiming to study the ultra-rare $K^+ \rightarrow \pi^+ \nu \overline{\nu}$ decay. The main goal of the NA62 experiment is the measurement of this BR with 10% accuracy. This is achieved by collecting about 100 $K^+ \rightarrow \pi^+ \nu \overline{\nu}$ events.
The challenging aspect of NA62 is the suppression of background decay...
The TORCH time-of-flight detector is designed to provide particle identification over the momentum range 2–10 GeV/c over large areas. The detector exploits prompt Cherenkov light produced by charge particles traversing a 10 mm thick quartz plate. The photons propagate via total-internal reflection and are focussed onto a detector plane comprising position-sensitive micro-channel plate (MCP)...
